FPIA ~ Our Purpose
"The Purposes of the Flying Pond Improvement Association are, first, to oversee the needs of the Dam on Flying Pond and the Water-Rights, Access Points and the Dam Site on the outlet side of the Mill Pond in Mt. Vernon; secondly, to assume responsibility for the overall well-being of Flying Pond, with particular emphasis on its ecological health; and, finally, to encourage and support safe and lake-related activities that are beneficial not only to our members, but also to all residents of the Mt. Vernon/Vienna vicinity."

WATER SAFETY, HEADWAY SPEED/NO WAKE ZONES
Buoys are put in place to mark water safety zones for your convenience. If there is no buoy, it still might be a Water Safety Zone. State law requires at least 200' from ANY shore (islands are included). Operators must consider the effect of their boat’s wake. For everyone's benefit, please become familiar with these areas and follow the state regulations. We all rely upon your cooperation to ensure the pond is preserved and safe. The Boater’s Guide to Maine Boating Laws and Responsibilities, published by Maine IFW, is available online and at the Vienna and Mt. Vernon Town Halls. Please encourage family members, friends and guests to become familiar with the rules. If you witness non-compliant boating, contact the Game Warden by calling: 1-800.452.4664. For additional information visit: maine.gov/ifw/warden-service  Maine has a Lead-Free Law. Click here to go to fishleadfree.org for more information. Protect our loons.
Safely Dispose of Lead Tackle:
The Dr. Shaw Memorial Library and the Transfer Station in Mt. Vernon have kindly offered to collect lead tackle and dispose of it safely. Please bring your lead tackle there for proper disposal! |
We LOVE our LOONS!
"Enjoy the loons - but give them room!!" For additional information or to report concerns, contact the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife at (207)287-8000. CONTACTING THE WARDEN
While the FPIA is NOT a regulatory organization, we strongly encourage you to call the Warden any time you see something that is not safe for people or for the lake. There is a local warden (Ethan Buck) who lives in Mt. Vernon area (call the Augusta number below). Here is information copied from their website https://www.maine.gov/ifw/warden-service/ : REPORT A VIOLATION: As game wardens work to protect our precious natural resources, we rely on the public to be an extra set of eyes and ears. If you witness a violation or suspect illegal activity, please report! To reach a Game Warden 24-hours a day, contact the Augusta dispatch center: 1-800-452-4664 You can also report a violation anonymously through Maine Operation Game Thief by visiting maineogt.org or calling 1-800-ALERT-US (1-800-253-7887) |
